I'd love to see it. And Sonnen's already got the shit-talking going:

Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter said:

While no date has been set, Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva are already starting to promote a prospective fight. Sonnen, who has been quiet ever since his test came out positive, is back on the campaign trail, while Silva claimed that when the two trained together (they trained together in Las Vegas at one point) that he all but killed Sonnen. Sonnen has come back with lines like, “You killed who? I was taking it easy on you. Ya looked like Tammy Faye Baker. I went easy so that new face of yours (Silva had extensive plastic surgery done this year which is why he hasn’t fought in so long) wouldn’t fall off.” “If your career was a horse, they’d take it behind the barn.” “I put Anderson out for a year, I’ll put you out for a decade.” “More guys have worked on your face than it took to build the Pyramids. You look like Lisa Rinna with a leprechaun beard, you fool.” “Submit your e-mail at greenlightdaily.com to be entered in a contest to be my corner man. Not you Wand, it requires an ability to type..

-- Unfortunately, Sonnen's failed drug test is going to keep him from coaching the next season of The Ultimate Fighter against Silva, as had been rumored - filming starts next month, during his suspension.

Doesnt deserve the chance for now. Who knows how long he's been using Roid's before fights or how far it has gotten him? He's lucky he didnt get kicked out the UFC.

This fight might not go down now. Two reasons. First, allegedly Sonnen will be fighting Yoshihiro Akiyama in UFC 128. Secondly, Sonnen might be doing some jail time for money laundering.
